That’s right, I’ve gone crackers. Completely crackers. I’ve been gluten- and soy-free since the beginning of the year and I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t miss crusty loaves of bread, glorious deep-dish pizza and yes, crackers! A good cracker serves as a vehicle to shuttle other morsels of goodness to the pie hole, am I right? Never fear, after some time in the test kitchen, I came up with a gluten-free cracker I actually like, and I hope you will too.
Wouldn’t these be pretty on a cheese- or charcuterie board? Pin this recipe for later.
These crackers are made from gluten-free oats, a whole mess of seeds, and flaxseed meal for some Omega-3 goodness. They have a delicious depth of flavor and a rustic texture I really love. You’ll see what I mean in a minute. They’re a bit of a PIA to make because you have to flip them over mid-bake, but if you need to be gluten-free like I do, they’re worth it!
I keep lots of seeds from Now Foods in bulk in my pantry because not only are they great for baking, they’re great in smoothies, as salad toppers, snacks and more. Save $10 when you spend $40 at Now Foods with MARCIANOW10.
I love the crusty edges so much! These are great with cheese, guac, herbed butter or cream cheese….all the things!

What’s your favorite kind of cracker? What’s your favorite thing to eat ON a cracker? Do you stock seeds in your pantry?
These look absolutely yummy! I made those GF cookies, looks like these crackers will be next. I bet the hubs will even like them. I just won’t tell him they’re GF. ;p
I eat flaxseed, chia and sunflower seeds every day – I might as well have them as a delicious cracker!
But then again – guess who would keep on nibbling away at them?
Wow those look super fantastic! I have never made my own crackers before. I love all the nuts and seeds in those. I am going to have to try these thanks for linking up
